1973 Constitution of Sudan

English copy of the 1973 Constitution of Sudan

The 1973 Constitution of Sudan, known at the time as the Permanent Constitution of Sudan, was the first permanent constitution in Sudan introduced under the leadership of President Gaafar Nimeiry. The constitution explicitly identified Islamic law as a primary source of legislation, which was a pivotal shift from previous legal frameworks that had been more secular in nature.[1] The constitution was enacted in May 1973.[2]
